Things you may not know about me ....

(thanks She Smiles)
yes, it's taken me this long to work on this ...

- you can count the number of people i've slept with on one hand ... being fat and self-conscious ... not a good thing for sex.

- i thought i've been in love with 3 people

- in actuality, i've only TRULY been in love with 2 - one of them my DH and one my first...

- i've betrayed and i've been betrayed, both sides suck.

- i met my DH on the internet in 1996

- we met IRL for the first time February 21, 1998 and were married February 25, 1998.

- i really dont have a favorite color

- i love to read but rarely 'find' the time

- i LOVE to eat... im a huge sweet eater and volume eater...

- the real reason i run and work my ass off is so i can eat more.

- i tend to lose my temper and fly off the handle... i tend to scream and shout and then feel horrible.

- i jump to conclusions without rationally thinking - well i guess that would be the definition of jumping to conclusions **eyeroll**

- i am becoming more and more computer illiterate... even simple things that i could once do (registry edits, etc...) escape me...

- i cannot STAND bell peppers - green/red/yellow whatever ... they literally make me gag

- i've met Tori Amos back stage twice and bawled thru both experiences

- i have a plan to lose the weight after DS is born but am petrified that i wont follow it and will end up huge again.

- DH and i adopted DD from China in February 2005

- im concerned that somehow i will love DS more than DD because he's "mine"... irrational i know, but it still scares the crap out of me

OMG ... how can i forget this one???
- i LOVE sex with DH - - right now cannot.get.enough....

ok, some things are just WRONG...

DH took DD skating yesterday ... she had an absolute blast. as they were taking a short break, we saw this one woman (probably about 24-25ish) ... she weighed no less than 300 pounds... i cannot even begin to describe what this woman was wearing ... it was kinda like a tank top with spaghetti straps (the clear ones)... she had ROLLLLS hanging out of this top... and the 'muffin top' was all the way around and you could see it in all it's glory...

now now ... before you think im a complete hypocrite, i'm not... i was that big - bigger even - but i would not be caught dead in that shirt or anything close to it. i did take a picture of her at a book store, but decided against posting it... my luck, she'd belong to LBT or something... **eyeroll**

so the moral of the story is ... hell, i dunno ... dont wear white trash clothing if you are fucking huge. (ok, dont wear white trash clothing at all - especially if you are huge)...

even better than the ring i think ...

another present i received from my DH was a book ...

"Quotable Runner"....

i was thinking tonight ... damn, this man has so much faith in me, i think he has more in me than i do myself... he KNOWS i can start running again and this was his way of telling me that he will support me... even if it means me getting up at (ugh) 4am again...

words cannot describe how much i appreciate that.

thanks, Rick... ily

people are just fuct up...

this is so sad and tragic.

COVINA, Calif. – Stinging from an acrimonious divorce, a man plotting revenge against his ex-wife dressed up like Santa, went to his former in-laws' Christmas Eve party and slaughtered at least six people before killing himself hours later.

Three people were listed as missing after Bruce Pardo's rampage — his ex-wife and her parents — and it was feared their remains were among the ashes of the home, which Pardo set ablaze using a bizarre homemade device that sprayed flammable liquid.

Pardo, 45, had no criminal record and no history of violence, according to police, but he was angry following last week's settlement of his divorce after a marriage that lasted barely a year.

"It was not an amicable divorce," police Lt. Pat Buchanan said.

The massacre began when an 8-year-old girl answered Pardo's knock at the door. Pardo, carrying what appeared to be a large present, pulled out a handgun and shot her in the face, then began shooting indiscriminately as about 25 partygoers tried to flee, police said.

A 16-year-old girl was shot in the back, and a 20-year-old woman broke her ankle when she escaped by jumping from a second-story window. Those two, and the 8-year-old, remained hospitalized Christmas Day.

The gift-wrapped box Pardo was carrying actually contained a pressurized homemade device he used to spray a liquid that quickly sent the house up in flames, police said.

When the fire was extinguished early Thursday, officers found three charred bodies in the living room area.

"They were met with a scene that was just indescribable," police Chief Kim Raney said. Investigators found three more bodies amid the ashes later in the day.

None of the dead or missing have been identified.

Following the shootings, Pardo quickly got out of the Santa suit and drove off, witnesses told police. He went to his brother's home about 25 miles away in the Sylmar area of Los Angeles. No one was home, so Pardo let himself in, police said.

Police were called to the home early Thursday, and officers found Pardo dead of a single bullet to the head.

so yeah... bah humbug...

I'm ready for this flipping tree to go down.. between the 2 dogs
dragging it around in circles and DD touching it, it's gotta come down
tomorrow... FED UP with it...

overall, Christmas was pretty nice... I was overwelmed at my
present... I love jewelry and I'm acquiring a taste for platinum
now.. oh dear... $$

in the middle of opening presents, my DD said 'I wanna go see grand
pappa' (in St Louis)... that made me really tear up... sucks...
plus, really... just getting a check for Christmas, not so much
fun... and we missed out on stockings, etc... my sister (the oldest
but younger than I am-if that makes sense)... got engaged... so yay...

one good thing... we don't have a 10+ hour drive home tomorrow...

Dear Santa

Special delivery surprises soldier’s son

PORT CHARLOTTE — When Tina Wood took her children to visit Santa at the Port Charlotte Town Center mall in November, she never thought the experience would bring her to tears.

After asking for the games Hungry Hungry Hippos and Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, 3-year-old Aidan asked for something that shocked everyone within earshot.

“He got really close to Santa, wrapped his arms around his neck, and said, ‘Santa, I have been a good boy and I help Mommy with my little sister and I clean up after myself,’” explained 30-year-old Tina. “Then he said, ‘Santa, can you please bring Daddy home from Iraq?’”

Since September, 27-year-old Sgt. Chris Wood has been serving overseas in special operations in the U.S. Army. Because Aidan rarely speaks about his father’s deployment, she was shocked.

“When he said it, it made me really realize how much this little boy is missing his dad,” Tina said. “I know he hurts, and he shows it in his own way, but he actually took the time to plan out what he was going to say to Santa.”

Tina took his wish as a sign that a Christmas miracle was in the works.

After all, only one week before the November mall trip, Chris received word he may be able to go home for the holidays.

“It was perfect timing,” Tina said.

Almost immediately, the mother of two went to work planning her son’s Christmas miracle, which came true Wednesday morning.

In front of dozens of clapping onlookers, flashing cameras and rolling camcorders, Chris hugged his little boy for the first time in several months.

Grandparents MaryAnn and Dave Mills escorted Aidan and his 3-month-old sister, Mazzy, to the mall, under the pretenses that Santa had called grandma that morning and had a special pre-Christmas present waiting for the little boy.

Expecting toys, Aidan walked to Santa’s photo line with wide, twinkling blue eyes and a smile that could be seen across the corridor. Only a few feet away, his father was hiding behind a black curtain in a FotoXpressions booth.

After waiting for his turn in line, Aidan climbed up on Santa’s lap.

“Do you remember what you asked me to get you for Christmas?” asked Santa, also known as Paul Gagnon.

“Hungry Hungry Hippos!” exclaimed Aidan, a response that received a lot of laughs from onlookers.

“What else?” Santa pried.

After another guess, Aidan grew quiet and finally said, “My daddy.”

“That’s it,” said Santa, signaling Chris. “And here he comes.”

Without delay, Chris emerged from his hiding place, jumped the fence separating him from his son and embraced Aidan.

As the crowd erupted into applause and tears, Chris turned to Santa and said, “Thank you. This was a really nice present.”

But the tears were soon replaced with laughter as Aidan exclaimed, “I still want the games.”

Looking back on the journey that got the family to this place, Tina simply smiled.

“This is truly a Christmas miracle, but more than that, it’s a story that gives people hope and what the true meaning of Christmas really is.”

my thoughts on the Biggest Loser finale ...

obviously dont read if you havent watched...

Heba - she looked really good... too bad her actions on the show caused America to vote Ed into the final 3. at the ranch she did "OK"... i think she only lost about 8 pounds more than all the other females (Michelle) and easily started weighing 30+ pounds more than her... so yeah, she did well at the ranch, but should have done a lot better... hopefully, when Heba and Ed do have a child, she will realize what a bitch she was and have changed her ways... yes, it was a reality show, but the producers can only film the way you actually were...

Ed - did better than i thought he would. he looked good.

vicky - complete and utter bitch and she got what she deserved - last place and absolutely nothing. hopefully her 15 minutes are up, but if they arent, i hope someone calls her out on the way she acted on the show. what a disgrace. hopefully her kids see reruns when they get older and question her actions.

michelle - holy crap she looked so amazing. she won and didnt have to "play the game" like others did. not to the extreme that others did... Renee looked very very good as well...

i think it all comes back to my good friend Karma ... it will kick you in the ass every time...

next season looks ... interesting. i just wish they'd go back to individuals... nix the 'teams'...

is it wrong for me..

to be ticked at DH?? I was really sick last week... sinus infection,
a cold, etc... he didn't do ANYTHING to properly take care of

but what would the neighbors say??

ok, so DD has hit the fuckinghorrible fives... today being the penultimate... we went to DH's race, all was ... ehh... ok... she started getting antsy about 10:15 ... right about when he was going to cross the finish line... i told her to 'suck it up', dad was running 13.1 miles and we could wait outside (it had warmed up - i wouldnt make her wait out in the cold for 20 minutes...) she got cranky and fussy...

well, DH crossed the finish line (YAY!!!) and we went back to the hotel... she started talking back to me - telling me no, "IM NOT GOING TO DO THAT MAMMA", etc.... we told my parents goodbye (another YAY!!) and went up to our hotel room for a time out. 'normal' time outs last 5 minutes - this one lasted for well over an hour... an hour of her screaming at the top of her lungs... we were ALLLL the way at the end of the hall and my DH heard her at the elevator.. she was literally screaming for absolutely no.reason.whatsoever.... NO REASON... she didnt want to go to time out... she finally chose the alternative to timeout and we checked out of the hotel and went to lunch...

apparently my very DD has a 'thing' for hotels... as in she wants to live in one... "I wanna go back to the hotel" no fewer than 200 times today... seriously...

we get home... time for a nap... she didnt want to and started back talking - again... "NO... I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT".. bullshit again... time out... "NO!!! BLAH BLAH BLAH"... this time it only lasted about 1/2 an hour, but damn the child has lungs...

getting ready to go eat dinner ... (yes, we ate out 2 meals in a row **gasp**) she goes in our room (not allowed unless invited), i ask her to leave, NO!! BLAH BLAH BLAH AGAIN... dh puts her in time out (yup, again).... guess what - - another fit! lasting 10-15 mins, im fed up, DH is fed up and hungry... alternative to time out, done... she is still screaming i tell her to go outside... she's whiny-crying... we are in the driveway, i ask if she's finished... "NO"... ok, well you can just stay out here and cry and show everyone what a baby you are.... so she does ... and she screams ... blood curdling screams... im no where near her .... screaming for no reason... our neighbor comes out and looks at her ... i tell him that she's acting like a baby and to have a good look (yeah, i'm evil sometimes).... at that point i notice that its not just a neighbor - it's a NEW neighbor just moving in ... oh dear... **eyeroll**

so at dinner entering the restaurant, she's still crying... i have to take her to the car and i start buckling her in her carseat. "are we going back to the hotel??" - we've been ignoring that question since about 4pm... i say no, she starts to cry - again... i tell her if she keeps crying she can stay in the car while DH eats and i will stand outside of the car, she'll be in there all alone... those apparently are the magic words... she stops and says she is finished... i asked if she was sure cause it's a nice night and i can use the fresh air.... "YES"... so we went back to the restaurant, she's OK ... not great, but OK... she starts asking about that fucking hotel again i say no, she starts to cry, i just get the keys out and silence... hmmm.... what the hell am i going to do when it starts getting cold.?????

does this make me a 'prude'?

my parents are in town... my dad cussed in front of DD and I hate
it... cringe every time... 'jackass', 'asshole', you name it..
including *blush* racial slurs... and I'm such a chickenshit I don't
say anything...

take in consideration our last name is short (3 letters)...

does this sound obnoxious?? - input please

DH and I are not big fans of 'sport' type apparel for boys (no baseball/football prints, etc..) i dunno what it is, we just dont care for it...

since registering yesterday, i noticed quite a few items (ok, MOST items) have sporty themes, so we put this as a comment on our registry ... we just dont want someone buying something we will not put Tigger in ...

but i was thinking last night ... does this sound pretentious or something?

this is what i put:
it's a BOY!!! :)

for blankets/clothing, we'd really prefer animal type prints/dogs/safari/etc over sports type. please

thinking BLUE!!

it's a boy! NO DOUBT - he flashed us really well a couple of times!

off to go shopping / registering.

seriously... boys can wear pink / dresses, right???

not that i'm really having a boy... not that i know anything... no clue (next ultrasound Tuesday)
this is less than half of what is left of my daughter's closet... the clothes that do not fit her any longer... yup, lotsa pink, lotsa girly dresses... the piles on the floor are over 18 inches high each...
yup, over 1/2 her closet still needs to be cleaned out - still... huge green tubs (2 or 3) still need to be gone through... guess i know what we'll be doing this week.

stubborn is an understatement..

well since Friday I haven't really felt Tigger move much.. a couple
kicks on Saturday morning about 6, but nothing the rest of the day and
all last night... even his 'active' periods between 3-315 & 6 am...

so yeah, I was really concerned and called my OB... "go right to
labor & delivery (L&D) NOW..."

so at 7am, we were off to L&D... the nurse hooked me up right away -
once we actually FOUND L&D... got a nice heartbeat and about 2 min
later... thump thump... didn't feel it, but we heard it on the
monitor... a couple min after that I felt the thump... didn't really
feel a lot, but we heard them. so she gave me some orange juice..
felt a few thumps and off I went... she gave me a few tips on how to
get him moving.. if it doesn't work come in again... hopefully we
won't be back until February...

is this selfish/stupid?

DH's family lives in Canada.. (they don't really like me per se cause
i'm not Chinese... *eyeroll*)... so needless to say, I was THRILLED
when they got 'web chat' and wanted to chat with DH via webcam... I
didn't really want anything to do with it... and since I was sore
from my massage (elbow deep tissue massage to shoulders) I took a warm
shower...

I come out and really hope they are finished... they were... he then
proceeds to tell me that his cousin and his wife are expecting their
2nd child... February 18th... WTF... I'm due the 13th... I don't
really know exactly what pisses me off... maybe because we're just
now finding out?? (DH's parents see them weekly)..

now this is really pathetic but now I'm really hoping for a boy for us
(this will be their second girl - boys are SOO important to the
culture and if Tigger's a boy, he would be the first...)

hmmm.... pretty cool...

so i'm 6 1/2 months pregnant this week (almost 27 weeks - will be on Friday)...

it's chilly and rainy in Texas today... the house just feels, i dunno ... damp... we have 2 very shedding dogs so i mostly hang around in jeans and a t-shirt... the only mat jeans i have are capris and well, with this weather, it just doesnt work very well...

so i'm digging through my closet looking for some casual pants to keep my poor legs warm -- i think im the only preggo that isnt always warm.. i find an old pair of running pants (old meaning from Mar/April after my PS...) i figure my t-shirt is huge so i can just cover up my belly with the shirt... the pants fit... even in the belly... size 18 pants... hmm... not bad. :)

248 am and yup, im awake

ok, this is just getting ridiculous... its like im not even tired...

i was just lying there in bed and all that was happening was my left shoulder was getting sore... so i tried to kinda lay on my tummy ... not fully on it, but enough to ease the shoulder ... Tigger would not have that one bit... was like "HEY... get off of me!!!"

i may need to find my wedge that i bought when i had plastics ... dunno how that will help, but maybe it will...

blahhhh

442 and i cant sleep ... we keep a fan on in the bedroom as a 'noise detractor' of sorts... (barking dogs - neighbors, snoring dogs - ours, snoring spouse, etc...) well i woke up and literally coudl not breathe through my nose... stupid fan wasnt even pointed towards me ... almost an hour after i turned off the fan and i still cant freaking breathe... of course as soon as i turned off the fan, neighbor dog started barking...

so now i'm awake. fun times...
no - not really

how would you react?

most of you know my DH is Chinese...

a few times a month we go to an 'authentic' Chinese restaurant for
lunch (dim sum)...

the way dim sum works is they bring small meals to your table and put
a stamp on your paper for the price and you pay when you are finished...

today the table next to us ordered the same dish I wanted... just out
of curiosity, I looked at what they were charged... they were charged
price C, we were charged price D (about 50 cents more)... their table
was all Chinese people, we obviously were not... DH doesn't think
it's a big deal, it now has me wondering what else and how many times
have we been charged differently??!

"DH" (eyeroll) told me last night that he couldnt believe i ate the whole container of ice cream... after about 2 seconds he added "and didnt leave any for me"...

he's really lucky he added that part!!

i was going to suggest i go out and get another container (is it a pint??) but would eat that one too so he can get his own ice cream but i refrained...

oh dear....

do NOT try this at home ...

unless you want to eat the entire thing... O.M.G. !!!!!!!

yummie recipe...

Chicken & Cheese Manicotti...
- uncooked manicotti noodles
- thin chicken strips (as many strips as you want manicotti OR more if you want some not in the manicotti)
- sprinkle of garlic salt
- string cheese (half the amount you want for manicotti
- jarred tomato sauce - any variety you like
- 3/4 cup water
- shredded mozzarella cheese (we used moz/parm cheese)

make sure chicken strips are thin enough to fit in a manicotti shell with cheese stuffed in it as well

preheat oven to 350F

stuff manicotti shells with chicken and HALF (lengthwise) of a cheese stick
fill all the manicotti shells

mix the jarred pasta sauce with the water, pour some in the bottom of a baking dish, just enough to barely cover the bottom.

lay stuffed shells on top of the sauce, then cover the shells with the remaining sauce/water mixture.

i had extra cheese and chicken, i just placed it in the dish and covered it with sauce.

cover the pan TIGHTLY with foil
bake for 60 minutes
top with the shredded cheese, bake an additional 5 or until the shredded cheese has melted.

pretty easy and good (leftovers are even better!)

Some people on this website need to grow up. Not many people have over 17,000 bucks to throw away for surgery to try and make themselves healthier and have to depend on insurance. Even if I had a JOB I couldn't afford it.

more on 123 magic...

all i can say is WOW, holy crap it works!

its a book that has brought peace to our house. DD (she's 4 going on 15) is very .... hmmm, strong willed ... yeah, that's a great description...

i always used to count, but it was to 5 and i would get SO frustrated and angry... with the help of this book, i count to three ... the emotion is taken out of it ... we've been working on it for a week and i've yet to reach 'three'... there have been a few serious offenses that are automatic time out (she jumps on our dog - tries to 'ride' him, smacks a dog, etc...) but that's the only time outs she's served... it used to be at least 2 times a day and sometimes they would last forever due to her fighting it....

sooooo, if you have someone 2-12, i highly recommend this book... even if your children are 'little angels'... i think most parents will find something in this book.

i SHOULD be awake at this time... but i'm not there (hi She & Chickie)...

this f'ing sucks.

but i am sitting here yawning finally so i guess its time to go back to bed... we have a big day planned if DD cooperates this morning... we're going to the Z-O-O ... spelled of course cause if she DOESNT cooperate, i dont want to hear it all day long...

dammit dammit dammit!!

i NEVER had high BP ... EVER ... even when i was humongous! i went to my regular OB appointment today .. 155/84!!!! WTF??!!

i have a follow up appt in 2 weeks for a BP check... i know hypertension is common in pregnancy, but at 19 weeks 3 days?? im not even half way there yet. i had a semi stressful morning trying to get DD ready and putting the hound up in his crate (escaped and i had to corral him back in) so i'm hoping its just some sort of fluke.... i hope cause ummm, if i have to go on any sort of bedrest, i'm screwed cause DD is with me full time now...

18 weeks today!!! :)

i work with bitches...

since i gave my 2 weeks notice at work, the 2 women (little girls actually *eyeroll*) have not said a word to me... they are pissed at me cause i quit right before the real busy time at work (our ONE busy time a month...) heh... tough crap. i couldnt handle it again ...

they are just making my decision soooo much easier ...

of course, one of them was printing something out that didnt work (she didnt paste special picture something or other)... it printed black instead of the picture... she WANTS to ask me how to fix it but hasnt yet... not sure if i'll remember how to do it anyway... yeah, imabitch too...

so where were you?

7 years ago today.. even though its so difficult to remember, we MUST remember and not let it happen again.

when the first plane hit, i was on my way to work. i had no clue it had even happened. my work had pulled a TV into the lobby and i saw the second plane hit as i entered the building.

i was working for TWA (Trans World Airlines) who had recently been purchased by American Airlines - you know - flights 11 and 77.

incredibly tragic. so so so SO tragic. i hope the victim's families are dealing with this. i cannot even fathom what they are going through.

it's just so sad.

ummm, what time is it??

my body certainly doesnt think it's bed time...

this sucks!! woke up about 1245 to go pee and have been awake ever since...

DH cant sleep either....

i've been on vacation from work for the past 2 days and tomorrow i have to go back, im thinking that's a contributing factor.... only 3 more work days. tomorrow is going to be boring as all hell... but i have 3 movies (footloose, pretty in pink & breakfast club) on my iPhone so that'll kill about 6 hours. at least friday morning should be kinda busy and monday will (hopefully) be a quick day cause i have my 'big' ultrasound that morning... and it's one of the 4 busy days of the month.... AND my last day! yay!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!

ok, i need to finish synching my iphone then try to get back to sleep...

oh yeah... i did email my 'sister'

hi (sister's name)
I'm going to pass, but (DD) would love to be in the wedding. Keep us posted.

work still sucks (7 days left!!!)

well damn, this sucks...

ok... so i went grocery shopping this afternoon...
i got everything on my list, veggies, grapes on sale (woo hoo 97 cents a pound), tomatoes and then i made the mistake of going by the bakery ... OMFG!!!!!!! there was this cake ... this CAKE ... sour cream pudding cake ... OMG OMG OMG ... it looked amazing... sooooo good... i was drooling... and it was on SALE ... how could i not get it???

i didnt bring my debit card shopping, so i had to use DH's... me having mommy brain, i completely forgot his PIN number ... 3 times... locked the stupid card... declined, declined, declined... yup - im an idiot sometimes...

so i leave the store empty handed... :( no tomatoes (been craving them)... and no cake!!!!!! gahhhhhh!!

DH was wonderful and dropped us off at home and went back with the list.. (yes, yes... including the cake). well, he didnt get the sour cream pudding cake, he got the sour cream angel food cake... **sigh** I DONT WANT ANGEL FOOD CAKE.... I WANT PUDDING CAKE (dont mess with a pregger's cravings)... i storm off to the store to exchange the stupid cake.... its now after dinner, slight rumbly in my tummy ... i cut myself a piece ... ehhhhh... not so great.... i dont dare tell this to DH ... dammit!!!!

too harsh of a response????

I have absolutely no desire to even go to your wedding much less be in your hick wedding. Oh wait, it wont be a hick wedding cause dad is paying for it.

And for you to ASS-Ume that my daughter would be in your wedding. Um, not so much…



yes, it's only a wish-response

why... why... WHY???

ok, my favorite sister (ummm, NOT) is getting married next year... she's a total bitch and only contacts me when she wants something..

well when she announced she was getting married to loser-boy (24 years old, not going to school, no job, still lives with mummie,etc) she set up a "the knot" web page. on that page she announced that my other sister (ehh, not close, but she's not a total bitch like baby sis) would be her maid of honor (not a shock, they are close) and MY very DD would be a flower girl. ummm, maybe ask me first???

that was about a month or so ago. so this morning i get an email:
i just wanted to see if you and (my DD) wanted to be in our wedding... blahblahblah...

initial reaction was to delete it. seriously! and i havent replied yet (my answer is HELL NO i will not stand up in your hick wedding) but i dont know what to do about DD... inital reaction for her is hell no as well just cause i cant stand the 'bride', but ... i should just suck it up and say yes to her.

no clue what reason i'm going to use for me not being in it. i will have delivered by then (summer wedding), i guess i could say that i dont want to leave the baby for that long ??

*reason #1 i think she's a total bitch*
a couple years ago, we were home for Thanksgiving. our flight home was about 630-700 am on a Sunday morning. my parents left for somewhere Saturday night (gone for the rest of the weekend). i asked her Saturday afternoon if she could drop us off at the airport. "I just cant do that, I have to drive home Sunday to prepare for school and i dont want to be tired while driving (3-4 hour drive)"... in other words, i dont want to get up and drive you cause i'll be sleeepy... yet she got up for day after Thanksgiving shopping at 4am Friday morning.... so we called a cab - $65 thank you very much. FINE BITCH.

she was up pounding around (she's a big girl too) until 3:30 am that morning we were leaving... so fucking much for being too tired.

i was so f'ing pissed. SOOOOOOOOO f'ing pissed, i finally told my (step)mom... i KNOW she told bitch-sis... not one word to apologize ... she's a f'ing bitch and nothing is going to change my mind...

wow ... guess i needed to vent ????

ummm, wow

i've lost 9 pounds since my last fill (07Aug)...

IF YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO TIGHT, YOU PROBABLY ARE!!!
and yup, i succumbed to a craving for lunch... McDonald's McRib ... its the only thing (besides their iced coffee) that i like. i took one bite with the bun (tempting fate, i know)... i knew it wouldnt work... but i did eat the 'meat' bunless ... yummmmmmmmmmmmmm

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

... so much for 2 weeks notice next week.

my boss came by "there will be information about the voluntary packages in the next 2 weeks"... the 'voluntary packages' would give me a severance that i just cant NOT stick around for ...

dammit dammit dammit...

but if i do get the package but have to stay more than a month or so, i dont think i'm going to accept it... and of course, if i dont get it, i'll turn in my notice 1 minute after that...

so no, I can't sleep

... so I grabbed my Doppler and was patient (unlike most times) and I
heard his heartbeat!!!!!!

I'm so freaking happy I'm crying! :)

it's a good solid 150... went up to about 153 but for the most part
stayed right at 150. of course DH is out running so he didn't get to
hear it... I did call his cell to leave a message, but doubt it could
be heard...

oh well, next time I know to be more patient!

on the band front, I'm going in for a slight unfill this afternoon,

cute story about my DD....

DHwas working late tonight (left 1/2 hour later than normal)... apparently DD was hungry.

she looked up at me and said "we go out to eat tonight"... i said no, there's water on the stove for spaghetti... "i dont want psgetti"... we go out to eat. this happened a few times, me adding something each time (sausages, broc & cheese)... after about the 5th time, i said well DD, when you can pay for it, we'll go out to dinner, OK? she said OK... then once again ... we go out tonight... i told her she doesnt have any money to spend.

"yes i do"...
"oh really, where?"
"in mama and dadda's room"


DH has coins on top of his dresser ... she wanted to pay for dinner with that ... :)

ok ... i want honest opinions people ...

i really..

fucking hate people who aren't banded who (think they)"know it all"...

tigger!! :)

just wanna say

i f'ing hate my job and really cannot stand my co-workers... why i took this job in the first place (other than the huge promotion and more money) is unknown to me...

weird hunger...

*posting on LBT too*

so I did get a fill a few days ago and it does seem to help the
CONSTANT hunger I've had with this pregnancy.. weird thing is - I'll
eat dinner (1/2 piece tilapia and 3 bites broc), be satisfied - full
even... then 2 hours later be STARVING... enuff to wanna chew my
left arm off... so at 9:00 last night I'm eating shredded BBQ
chicken.. I literally take 3-4 small bites - done.. not 'full', but
good.. I just don't understand how I go from 1 extreme to the other
SO quickly.

i loathe my co-workers

ok ... i asked my 'neighbor' if she watched Army Wives last night and immediately said that i had not... snoopy chick (other neighbor) came by, oh i havent watched it in a few episodes, and they proceed to talk about it including last night's show...

bitches!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

oh dear i am sooo ticked at DH (d does not mean dear right now)...

first of all he was up really late watching the olympics ... fine and dandy... well he comes to bed and shines his phone right in my eyes ... i know it wasnt intentional, but geesh...

then he cant sleep ... so he's out in the living room, sending me emails ... ummm ... they go right to my iPhone... i get an alert when i get an email... 2am... not a good thing.

then at 3am, for some reason, his phone alarm goes off... why he would set an alarm for 3am, i have no idea... he's not in the room... he's lucky he didnt come back to it in pieces on the floor...

he comes to bed about 4-430 and he's receiving some sort of text message alerts...
FINALLY, he's in the shower getting ready... i have another 8 precious minutes of sleep in my 'snooze' and his freaking alarm goes off again.

so needless to say, i'm really tired and in a really fowl mood.

I know...

no updates... sorry.

I'm gaining weight, doc said not to worry about it, but I am...

headaches are debilitating.. my DD seems to have forgotten how to be
quiet for 10-15 mins...

latest ultrasound looked good, but no really good pictures. :( we
did get it videotaped (VHS-who has a VCR any more??) so when we
convert it, I'll post a small video.

off to try to get rid of this doozy of a headache...

meltdown of sorts...

ok ... so i have gained maybe - MAYBE - 2 pounds total since i found out i was pregnant a little over a month ago. it's fluctuating between losing 4 and gaining 1.5...

i've already got a belly ...

i was sitting on the couch last night and just looked down and started crying ... im only 8 weeks (almost) pregnant... im not supposed to have a belly yet... DH calmed me down, but its still scary to think what im going to look like at 20/30/40 weeks!!!

'cuter' pictures...

the baby is below the arrow in the last 2 pics

its a baby!!! :)

insert title here...

im slacking so horribly bad and good for me food literally makes me nauseated but a pop tart is great. despite that im not eating much and have lost a little bit.

im just exhausted a lot... A LOT... A LOT ..

so im home with DD with the chicken pox. i had them when i was young and my doctor said that i should be fine.

DH's boss actually wants their child exposed to THE POX so DD is going to stay with them tomorrow while we go in for the ultra sound... i was getting bummed cause i didnt think DH would be able to come, but he can.

YAY!!

and WHY am i craving Toaster Pastry things????????? grrrrrr

pretty in pink.... ;)

well fuck a duck...

my DD has chicken pox....

sent from my iPhone ;)

ok, so..

none of my clothes fit... at least none of my pants/shorts fit...

now granted, they were 14s and 'fit' ... aka snug but I looked good
enuff to go out in public ... they fit at Disney early May and I've
dropped about 12-14 pounds since then...

but my belly.... it honestly looks like I have a baby bump
already... I've been told its 'just bloat', and by the time the bloat
is gone, the true baby bump will be there!! teeee heee heee!!! :)

btw - dammit, I still want my roast!!!!!! grrrrrrr.

sent from my iPhone ;)

OMG - I SO have mommy brain

I was so excited... I've been craving a roast with onions and
mushrooms for days now...

put it in the crockpot, yes I turned it on, BUT I forgot to set the
timer for the correct time... I come home from work, expecting to
smell a delicious roast... nothing... I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO bummed... :(

sent from my iPhone ;)

just wanted to say thanks...

I'm beat so I am currently sucking on responding to comments on my
blog, PMs from LBT and regular emails...

I'm sorry... :(

its 935 on a Saturday night and I'm going to bed...

I did want to sincerely thank everyone for their thoughts and
prayers... they are GREATLY appreciated..

ultrasound...

i have my first ultra sound at my first office visit which is a week from today!!!

GAHHHHHHHHH!!!! how am i going to wait another week????!!!

i stand corrected...

17,448!!!

little to no appetite. but when i want something, i WANT it...

fatigue has set in so horribly horribly bad, all i want to do is sleep.

hCG count

17,000

up significantly. not the 20,000 that i was hoping for, but its up a bunch. YAY!

i was actually kinda worried cause the nurse didnt call - it was my Doctor... i was like OH NO... but its good. its really good.

blood drawn...

now I wait. (I'm)patiently..

had a dream..

I was bleeding... hopefully it will remain JUST a nightmare...

sent from my iPhone ;)

ok ok OK.....

FINE!

 

ive scheduled a slight unfill for this afternoon.  i guess when you yack up breakfast (fruit), yack up lunch (3 bites of a chicken sandwich) and just generally wanna yack, an unfill isnt a bad idea.

 

im going to a new place, they do not do anything under x-ray which to me is important cause of my baby bean...

 

im weak from yacking up so much, im tired from not sleeping well (hello, freaking 103 outside yesterday!!!) and im just plain bitchy, well - cause i can be...

 

i so dont want to be at work, i SO want to quit but unfortunately, that's not gunna happen until we win the lottery and you know that saying "cant win if you dont play" ... that would be us.

 

 

the non-update update...

no new hCG results to post and I was good and didnt go after work
today..

I am going to go Wednesday after work. i figure my hCG should be at
least 15,000 (ideally 20+, but that size of an increase would make me
"ok", no, not great... I will then call my OB's nurse for her opinion.

hm... started typing this and forgot about it... SOOOOO tired. 'nite

hCG levels

first test on 10June was 3059
second test - 12June was 5430

soooo, the numbers are going up. not doubling like they 'should', but going up a nice 'respectable' rate.

im really really trying not to worry.

really i am...

ok - i need to chill the F out ....

i posted a freak out that i was probably losing and some wonderful woman gave me a great link about hCG (heaven forbid i do my own research and just rely on 1 internet source)

* 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
* 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
* 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml

at the time of the test i was 5weeks 6days... my hCG was 3059.... so well within the range that the American Pregnancy Association (whoda thunk there was an association??) says is OK.

" Caution must be used in making too much of hCG numbers. A normal pregnancy may have low hCG levels and result in a perfectly healthy baby. The results from an ultrasound after 5 - 6 weeks gestation are much more accurate than using hCG numbers."

http://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html

sooooo... im going to TRY to chill out and just wait until my Doctor calls tomorrow with a (HIGHER, please) number...

thanks for the fingers/etc crossed, it really means a lot to me.

LOW hCG. :(

I'm trying not to freak out.. hCG was 3059, really low for 5 weeks 6
days... its an 'OK' level for 5w0d, not great...

It doesnt look promising... :(

this sucks so much.

+

its positive... going in for another test tomorrow... at least my GP
doesnt think I'm crazy...

she suggested coming in thurs or fri, I asked her opinion and she said
to go in thurs so I dont have to wait the weekend to make sure my hCG
levels go up..

fingers (toes, eyes, legs, arms) still crossed.... I want the hCG to
double from tues...
